My world is shadow and light

My body picked up the head of the last lackey throwing his head in front of their leader. She was now visibly shaking with fear.

"I warn you what would happen but nooooo you wanted a challenge, well now you have one." She starts to shake again but then calms herself.

"Fool did you really think that this is all we brought with us." With that I could feel more and more magic signatures popping up around me. My body grins at the woman and looks around to see shadow knight ranging form low C class to A class fighter.

"Oh, you brought more just for me, I'm touched. How many are there though?" The woman smirks then lifts her hand signaling to the knights to close in.

"There is at least a hundred of us and more will be here shortly." She then starts to slowly back step try to get as far away from me as possible.

"Hahaha. You should have brought more!" My body dove back just in time to miss a swing that would have taken our head off. Luckily my body landed near one of the lackey's sword. One of the C class saw this as a chance to finish us off. I feel my eyes close and I could feel my eyes being charge with magic, and god did it burn. I feel my body jump back to kick the kid in the face and hit him hard enough to break his neck. My body then does a slight split and plants hand on the ground. 'Oh god don't tell me he's going to do what I'm thinking about.' It turns out that he does. He starts to twits putting force into the spin hitting multiple people. After using all of the momentum from the spin he pushes of the ground using my hands. In midair he grabbed our sword and pulled it in close. I could still feel the magic building my eyes but still couldn't do anything.

"Oh this is starting to get-" I felt somebody sucker punch me right in the jaw. It was enough where when my body hit the ground it didn't get move for awhile. All of the fighters saw this and pounced me and started to beat and mutilate me. The darkness was losing control over my body. I started to be able to move my body again. In my vision I saw the leader come up pointing her sword at my throat.

"Well well this is disappointing you didn't even get us down to half of our numbers." I started to laugh.

"Don't laugh you fool! You are beaten down and then we threw you around. How can you possibly be laugh at this?" She was mad, she even started to kick me to state her point.

"Because you forgot one thing." I said while moving my broken arm to my rosario. Apparently she didn't see this because she didn't try and stop me.

"Oh and do tell what is that."

"I was only fighting at half strength." She finally understood what I was saying when my hand found the seal.

"Retreat! Retreat now!" She said as she started running from me. 'Huh fucking coward!' I rip the seal letting the power flow through me fixing all of my bone and healing most of my wounds but not all of them.

"You guys are so dead now!" I pull my sword back to me. I look to the man who punched me before anybody could blink I had his head in my hands and was covered in his blood. I throw his head into the man who was to the right of me running after the head. He screamed when the head hit his chest but didn't get very far as I drove my blade through his heart. I back spin taking the handle of the blade in a reverse grip and rip it out of the man watching one of his lungs fly out. I charge my magic into my feet and shadow step multiple time slashing anything in my reach. I look over my shoulder to see about 25 bodies on the ground missing more then one part and were disemboweled. I look to the leader and give her the death glare pointing my sword at her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The demon pointed it's sword at me looking like a man with a mission. The demon flashes out of vision again to appear over 100 feet away, but I couldn't see what he did. The I heard thunder and rain but what I saw would haunt me for the rest of my days. Instead of normal rain coming down me and my knights were coated in blood. I look up but did not see anything. 'This is just some mind tricks the demon is playing.'

"Pay no heed knights this is just a trick by the demon."

"Oh you might want to think that through because I only see about 30 of you left." The demon flashed me a grin. I look around to find that it is correct all that are left are A class knights, but where did the others go.

"If your looking for your knights I would look behind you." I spin around and nearly threw up. Behind us was a mountain of corpses of our fellow knights. My blood started to boil at the sight of my dead friends. I turn back to the demon and I call my familiar to me.

"Now you will die demon."

""Heh bring it!"


'I don't understand. We had more people better equipment how did we lose.' I look around to see all of my closes friends dead and mutilated by the demon. 'Now I'm starting to regret my order of killing the girl.' The demon starts to walk towards me coated in blood and gore smiling as it closed the distance. It raised its sword aiming for my throat, but it stopped. I look to see that the demons shaking.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"NO NO MORE KILLING!" I hear a voice scream in my head. I stop from driving my sword through the leader's throat. I slowly pull back sheathing my sword. I turn to Aurora and run to her side. I dragged her onto my lap and I cried while I hugged her head. I hear the woman get up but I was too far to care. I hear a rift open up behind me, I look back to the woman to see her with hate filled eyes.

"I will kill you even if it's the last thing I do." With that she limped through the rift sealing it off from me. I sat there hugging Aurora's head from god knows long. Soon I could feel darkness push me back into my subconscious.


I open my eyes to see the flames again but this time they glowed with a calming purple hue. I hear clapping behind me, as I turn around I'm greeted with the demon me again.

"Why did you make me go through that memory again!" I was ready to throw myself at the man but before I could chains shoot out from the dark and chained me down.

"Why to break you of course but that memory took to much time because now I can feel that pesky Ash waking you up. I will say a few things before you go." The demon lifted his hand and spawned a syringe full of purple liquid.

"This will allow you to sleep but know this, every time you go to sleep I will be there making your worst nightmares come true. I also wanted to give you a happy gift. Think of it as a job well done present." He walked over to me bending my neck so he could get a better shoot with needle. After he was done I could feel my energy levels stabilize enough where I could finally lose energy without it regenerating immediately. He then spawned a bottle with contents I could not see but it had a dark air around it.

"This potion will increase our power to the limit. Enough to shroud the entire world in darkness for entirety but at the cost is after you use this power I will gain control and that will leave you with your inner demons so chose wisely." He slid the bottle into my cloak pocket.

"Now it seems that my time is up, but don't worry I'll see you tonight." I felt a tugging sensation and I was dragged back into the flames hearing my demon half laugh as I was thrust into the fire.


I woke up to the beeping of a heart monitor and a weight on my stomach. I look down letting my eyes adjust to the light, and I see Ash laying her head on my stomach with a small puddle from her tears. It broke my heart seeing her like this. I look around the room to see Drew and Artmus sleeping in the corner. I decide to wake them up.

"Ash...Ash, sweety it's time to get up." I look to see that she was slowly waking before she could get up I saw her eyes open and stare at me with tears beginning to fall out of her eyes.

"Don't cry Ash, I hate it when you cry."
